EXCLUSIVE! Pooja Sharma AKA Draupadi: “I Think Mahabharat Is The Greatest Narrative To Have Ever Existed In India”

After the re-telecast of B.R. Chopra’s Mahabharat on DD Bharti, Star Plus has also decided to telecast the new Mahabharat once again. Produced by Swastik Productions, the show features a talented bunch of actors like Pooja Sharma as Draupadi, Sourabh Raaj Jain as Shri Krishna and Shaheer Sheikh as Arjun to name a few.

Koimoi exclusively connected with actress Pooja Sharma, who essayed the character of Draupadi. In a candid chat with us, Pooja spoke about the show, her character and more.

Speaking about the show coming back after six years on TV, the actress said, “I’m very excited about it, it’s my debut show. I don’t think it happens often that your debut show gets a full-blown release and then gets re-telecasted on TV after many years on a prime time slot. It’s a rarity and I’m very excited to be back on screen with a larger audience right now.”

B.R. Chopra’ Mahabharat is also currently running on TV and has a great viewership, so we asked the actress if she feels that it can affect the viewership of their show, and Pooja quipped, “I don’t feel that there will be a division in viewership of both the shows. I think Mahabharat is the greatest narrative to have ever existed in India, so I think both the shows are made with different perspectives and viewers have a choice to watch whatever they like. But, our show is mainly targeted towards the younger audience.”

Further talking about the shooting experience, Pooja shared that she shared the best bond with Sourabh Raaj Jain because most of her scenes were with him. She says, “Till date we share a good bond and still call each other as Sakha and Sakhi.”
